Born of Legend: The League Nemesis Rising

By Sherrilyn Kenyon

Book Overview

Blockbuster bestselling Dark-Hunter author Sherrilyn Kenyon is back with the League--and one of the most notorious heroes of all time in Born of Legend. . .

Hunted. Hated. Betrayed. Outcast Dagger Ixur is on the run for his life. As one of the most recognizable members of his royal house, he has a bounty on his head that guarantees him no quarter from any friend or even family. But surrender isn't in him. He will fight to the bitter end--a resolve that is sorely tested when he narrowly escapes a trap that leaves him severely wounded. With what he believes is his dying breath, he saves a boy born to an extinct race from a group out to enslave the kid for his legendary abilities.

Ushara Altaan has spent her entire life hating the Andarion royal house that drove away her entire species. When Dagger saves her son's life, she is torn between her Tavali people and a debt that can never be repaid. Meanwhile, the League assassins after Dagger will stop at nothing to claim the lives of Ushara and her kind. The only hope she has left is to put her faith--and her family's future--into the hands of the very enemy whose grandmother personally extinguished Ushara's lineage. But how can Ushara ever trust Dagger when he is a disinherited outlaw whose real name is synonymous with betrayal?

Customer Reviews

I liked it

I liked this book but still, nothing in this world will ever make me like or forgive Dagger. The main character is bad guy turned good. A person we are all suppose to instantly forgive and feel sorry for. Sadly I didn't but still I found this to be a pretty good read.

Best Yet

This is the best yet of this series. It's no "fluff" read. Each of these books do stand alone. However, each is linked in the same universe, the characters often showing up in others. This one, BORN OF LEGEND, I have found to be her best yet, and I look forward to her next one.

confusion

I have read two books in this series and I have to say that I am completely confused. there are so many characters, so much chaos, senseless twists and turns and such outlandish back stories on these characters that it is difficult to stay focused on where and how the story is progressing or where it is going. And the names of the characters!!!! so many Vs and Rs and Hs! ugh. very distracting when you have to stop, go back to check spelling of a name to make sure the new name is a new character after all. this being said, I am going to try to find book no 1 of this series and read that in the hope that I will have a better conceptual base for the two books I have already read. and then, maybe, I will read a few more books in this series. to me, these books do not stand alone. I have to find out why the Andorians have fangs if they do not use them for biting, and claws!

Another hit !!

You will not be able to put it down. Great book.
